Hi all,
Alan updated the bug to indicate it fails since JDK 9. Given we still
have a couple days for JDK 15, I've rebased the patch to the jdk15
repo and would like to check in the patch into JDK 15 instead (and let
it be sync-ed to 16). Here's the webrev for JDK 15:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~joehw/jdk15/8248486/webrev/
No change to the SafeThread. The change to module-info.java was made
by deleting java.xml from its JDK15 version. Please review.
I was curious how we didn't spot this in JDK 9 but it's using Unsafe to
get an offset to these fields so that explains it. Good to get this
technical debt fixed as there is no guarantee that the hack will work in
the future. I don't think there is any urgency for JDK 15 though, fixing
it in the main line for JDK 16 is fine.
